Gerard & Kelly: Timelining

Archived Event

Mar 14 - Apr 19, 2014

No Longer Showing.

Gerard & Kelly’s “Timelining” features new projects installed in both the upstairs and downstairs spaces of The Kitchen. Through a series of sculptures, site-specific interventions, and a performance enacted for the duration of the exhibition whenever a viewer is present, Gerard & Kelly underscore The Kitchen as a site to work through questions of queer time and intersubjectivity. For its opening weekend, the exhibition presented two days of performances and a temporary installation in The Kitchen’s black box theater alongside the work installed in the gallery.

*Please note that the gallery will be closed on Tuesdays during this exhibition
